On August 21st, the Moon will pass in front of the sun, casting its shadow over the people of Earth. They’re calling it “The Great American Eclipse”, and luckily when they say “American” it isn’t followed by an asterisk excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Be careful, spoilers for seasons 1-6 (and maybe even season 7) are up...

By now, there’s a good chance you’ve seen or heard of the Amazon Echo Dot. If you haven’t, it’s what they call a smart speaker or intelligent assistant; it can connect to other devices via Bluetooth, play music, and since it’s powered by Amazon, it can even do online shopping for you! Oh, and did we mention you control it with your voice?
